    Stonewall is usually the holy grail when it comes to jungling but I have to disagree with him here.

    Ranking Mundo and Taric above Xin Zhao and Hecarim is just absurd, "Win Nao" has been and still is one of the most popular and strongest junglers in both solo queue and competitive play, easily up there with Volibear and VI. He has incredible dueling power, his ganks are great, he scales well into late game, he can build quite tanky and deal damage, his sustain is decent, his cc is above average..

    What does Mundo bring? a skill shot slow and his ability to very often run from a lost fight. He gets counter jungled so hard because he runs so low on hp. 

    Taric? he's a flavour of the month because he's vastly overpowered at the moment, if you see a Taric as the enemy jungle you counter jungle instantly, he cant 1v1 a bruiser, sure he has great sustain, he's an amazing tank but if you actually ward he has 0 ganking power.

    Hecarim, sure he CAN BE shut down very early but a good Hecarim will avoid this and good God, if this champion starts getting a few kills/assists, there's snowballing and there's Heca-balling. Again, great sustain, very good damage, quite tanky, amazing initiation, above average cc.

    Also, as for J4 overshadowing Xin, I think that is hilarious, while I agree J4 is a strong pick right now, he is far stronger in top lane or as double bruiser bot. A good Xin will take advantage of J4's awful mana pool, no sustain and mediocre 1v1 in the jungle and make your life hell.

    I find that this item needs a lot more than just 10% cooldown reduction, if it dealt something like 65 true damage per attack (including abilities) possibly scaling to 100 true damage instead of the dot then maybe. 

    However when you compare this item to wriggles, wriggles is almost always better in every situation, seems like RIOT didn't put much thought into this item

    I find that Darius, Yorick, Teemo, Riven and Irelia have a good chance against Garen.

    Darius is incredibly hard to beat 1v1 as any bruiser, especially after level 6, make sure to poke hard with your Q and when he tries to run off just pull him back in, if you can keep your bleed passive up = win.

    Yorick... pretty much counters any top laner, more often than not a jungle will give him level 1 blue buff and it's GG

    Teemo: Very fast, blind him when he runs at you and kite him through shrooms post level 6

    Riven: Her high damage is useful against him, just broken wings into him stun him and shield away, he'll usually not win the trade.

    Irelia: as aforementioned.

    Yeah I agree with you, Darius I found is just a character that if you win your lane early you can roam and demoralize their entire team by continually 3 shotting people 1v1, in team fights he seems a lot more difficult to control, it seems to me that even when I build ultra tanky with warmogs armour  frozen mallet, atma's impaler, maw of malmortius, boots of swiftness and then either black cleaver or infinity edge. I still get focused and killed in a matter of seconds.

    Lee Sin just seems like a beast but I've seen so many people really fail with him, sometimes his damage just seems really low?

    Really? I must have played terrible Rumble players because he's never been a threat to me, he's never seemed to do a lot of damage?

    I've never had a love for Heimer, I'm not sure why but when he's played mid he just seems to have incredible burst in a team fight, as a top though? could you explain that? :)

    I refunded my Olaf for Xin Zhao but I'll have to look into getting him back :( and indeed I heard Stonewall saying that Trundle is a lot stronger i the new meta!

    I've never tried alt-tabbing in and out to fix it actually! it's an odd drop that happens and it does go on its own but it's so infuriating losing to someone because the game gets all choppy mid team fight

    I've danced around buying Lee Sin for a while due to him being banned a lot and up till recently costing 6,300 IP, now he's down to 4,800 he'll be the first I'll buy (I'm on around 3,500 atm)

    Cho does get annoying really quickly in games I agree, I see a lot of hate on Darius but I play him relatively tanky and his pull can be a pretty good initiator or easy kill on an enemy ADC?

    I've seen a lot about Cho'Gath being strong this season and I used to play him a lot back when I first started this game, I just find that I get lost on what to build because I never seem to get it right? 

    I also find him really easy to counter with a character like Darius who just tears through him once you get a Black cleaver for example?
